MAY 9, 2024

The accelerating buildout of solar farms on Earth is already hitting speed bumps, including public pushback against the large tracts of land required and a ballooning backlog of requests for new transmission lines and grid connections. In that respect, beamed power from space is like nuclear fusion, except at least 25 years behind.
